Thu. 4/5	After the taking of your reactions "quest" today, I... ►...reminded you about the optional HW assigned by your class's presentations that would be due Wed. the week you come back. ►...only suggested that you might consider reading 8.1 through 8.3 to get a jump on stoichiometry, the unit we begin when you return. Don't forget to ask your folks if they know about the the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide!	Have a great holiday!
Wed. 4/4	First, we graded each others PQPs 41-50 using THIS KEY before class members came to the board to explain their solutions to the questions on Practice Quiz II (or you can check THIS KEY).  I also recommended that you try some additional MQPs (from 56 on but don't worry about 57 a and d) for added practice and I gave the solutions to those to anyone interested. Also, don't forget to share with your parents the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide! Here is a potpourri of solutions and keys to help you be ready for TOMORROW'S REACTIONS "QUEST"!: "Balance!" WS & back / Predicting Products WS front / PQPs 33-40 PQPs 41-50 / Practice Quiz / Practice Quiz II / All MQPs	USE ALL OF THE KEYS HERE ←←←←←←  AND REVIEW "Your Reactions Presentations"
Tue. 4/3	PQPs 41-50 were collected before PQPs 33-40 were handed back and discussed with the help of THIS KEY.  You were then given the middle 20 min. of class to complete last night's Reactions Practice Quiz before we also discussed that in the final 10 min. with THIS KEY. In a final attempt to prepare for Thursday's BIG QUEST, a Reactions Practice Quiz II was assigned for HW. 2 other important things: ► Check out "Your Reactions Presentations" page to see which have been starred for review purposes (& 2 BPs for their makers)! ► For those who didn't hand in PQPs 41-50, keep in mind they will be graded "right-wrong" tomorrow & not accepted afterward!	Reactions Practice Quiz II for HW. (while also reviewing Ch. 7 by using "Your Reactions Presentations")
Mon. 4/2	As your presentations wound down to an end, it came time to review what you had learned about writing balanced chemical equations and the 5 types of reactions. Today, all classes got back their "Balance!" WSs to use its key (front and back) to check for understanding. We then went over the "Predicting Products" WS (with this key and on the SB for the back) before this Reactions Practice Quiz was assigned for HW, due with 10 min. left in class on Tuesday. Don't forget Ch. 7 PQPs 41-50 are also due Tuesday! Lab for the Week: - "Modeling Reactions with Clay" - Completed in class in groups of 2 or 3	Reactions Practice Quiz & Ch. 7 PQPs 41-50 due Tuesday!
